Complaints

Another day on Ibuprofen. I’m not much of a medicator, but I’m really needing it right now. Between my pelvis, my sacrum, my knees, and my glute/hamstring pull…. It’s just exhausting.

But I’m not just popping pills. I take trauma drops in my water, I rub Arnica gel all over my body. I ice, I heat. I practically bathe in castor oil.

And practice doesn’t feel good at all right now. It’s work. I have to stay attentive at all times to ward off overstretching certain vulnerable areas and adjust to accommodate other areas. But still I get up, I power my way through it, and at the end of it, I’m just tired. Broken body, tired mind.

For once, I can’t wait for Ladies’ Holiday. Maybe I’ll skip a little pink pill just to move it along a bit…
